Token 40, 6:00 subah. PSK gate pe washing machine wali didi, zip lock me geela booklet. Pages chipke, photo page milky. Clerk ne gloves nahi, tissue, bola damaged, reissue, ye book bhi dikhana, ghar mat chhodna. Main line me suna machine, rain, bachha juice, dog chew. Photocopy kitni: photo page 3 if still readable, last pages 3, visa pages if any 2, Aadhaar original + 2 photocopy, application 1 extra. Paid WhatsApp: “damage hide kar ke lost bol do, jaldi, slot bhi nikal denge”. Galat category, later problem. Fee damage reissue, number yahan freeze nahi, portal pe live fee dekho.
Damaged alag, lost alag, book saath leke jao
Lost matlab book nahi mili. Damaged mili, kharab. Form pe sahi tick. Damaged ko lost bolne se FIR pressure, aur agar book mil gayi bag me, contradiction. Carry damaged book every visit. They record number, condition. Don’t throw in dustbin “sharam”. Don’t give to kabadi. If some pages unreadable, say so. If stamps still readable, still reissue often because booklet integrity gone. Immigration later trouble with peeling, water. Reissue new book, old cancelled. Photocopy before further damage, phone photos too for your record. Not for travel. Travel on damaged risky, airline may refuse, that’s their call, don’t test.
Documents same as reissue list plus damaged book. Annexure if portal asks damage declaration, current print, 2 photocopy. Identity original + 2 photocopy. Address original + 2 photocopy. DOB original + 2 photocopy. Photos extra white. Token 40 ke folder me zip lock, tissue, 3 xerox of photo page because shop pe pehli copy black aa gayi.
Paani, machine, juice, stamp padhta hai ya nahi
Water: page swell, ink bleed, chip. Machine: full cycle, sometimes photo page survive, observations gone. Juice / oil: sticky, dust. Dog: corner missing. All damage. Clerk sees whether number readable, name, expiry. If number unreadable, your photocopies, old visas, tickets help identify. Don’t invent number. If visa stamps bleed, copies of visas if you have separate, for your travel history not always needed at PSK, still useful.
Don’t soak book in sun on terrace extra day then peel. Stop damage, zip lock, tissue press, then photocopy, then bag. No iron. Iron melt. No new lamination shop “passport repair”. Repair looks like tamper. Reissue is the path. PSK may still photograph / scan remaining. Hold if they want extra affidavit, bring next date. Photocopies extra because wet originals may not xerox well at gate shop, do it night before at a shop with care, don’t force open stuck pages till they tear. If tear, still keep all pieces in envelope.
Token 52 ke aadmi ne terrace pe book sukhaya, pages warp, clerk bola aur kharab. Token 40 zip lock better. Rain wala uncle dashboard pe book chhod ke gaya, same reissue. Story alag, process same. Humidity city me zip lock still damp, extra tissue, still don’t iron.
Reissue form, category, peel mat, agent repair mat
Portal: reissue, reason damaged. Not fresh. Not lost unless truly lost. Validity remaining doesn’t save a pulp book. Some think 2 year left so keep using, then foreign counter trouble. Replace. Fee: official screen, portal pe live fee dekho, WhatsApp rate nahi. Documents: old damaged book, ID original + 2 photocopy, address original + 2 photocopy, photos as spec. If name change same time, extra, don’t mix unless you have papers. Keep category clean.
Paid seller “we iron and laminate same day passport, slot bhi”. Illegal flavour, avoid. Password OTP mat do. Don’t write on photo page to restore name. Don’t stick tape over chip. Tape + stamp = mess. Kids damaged in school bag, same, plus minor rules if under 18, parents. Adult here. After new book, old cancelled, keep cancelled if they return, some do hole punch. Track. Police verification may still happen depending type, ghar pe proofs. Damage se verification skip assume mat.

Photocopy kitni I repeat 3 of damaged identity page because one may come black. Extra white photo prints if they reject old photo look. Hold possible. Second visit take book again. Never leave damaged book at canteen “we will attach”. You attach by showing.
WhatsApp slot not needed if you already have date. If date passed because you were drying book 10 days, reschedule official, fee forfeit questions, portal / letter, don’t buy new date from group. Don’t travel meanwhile on pulp. If emergency medical, official extra papers another topic, still don’t fake lost. Truth damaged.
6:00 line me zip lock common. Gate xerox 6:30, geela page machine me fat. Ghar se 3 set. Self attested photocopy jahan form kahe. Original damaged book alag pouch, dry tissue.
Token 40 didi ne machine cycle ke baad book nikaala, photo page milky, number still padha. Clerk record kiya, reissue. Unhone lost nahi bola. Sahi. Cousin ne WhatsApp pe lost tick karne ko kaha, unhone nahi kiya. File seedhi.
Geele pages pe jo log galti karte hain
Peel laminate “photo saaf”. Tamper. Shop “passport covering 200”. Covering extra plastic, officer khol nahi pata, suspicion. Tape name. Whitener number. Glue chip. Ye sab hold ya worse. Book jaise hai, dikhao. Photocopy jo bani, wo backup. Dog chew pieces envelope me saath, lost tabhi jab book gayab.
Foreign trip 12 din me, pulp book leke airport. Airline call karo pehle, assume mat. Reissue timeline yahan promise nahi. Tatkaal alag fee, alag docs, damage category still honest. Portal pe live fee dekho Tatkaal tick se pehle. Extra paper medical / emergency alag article. Yahan pulp ko lost mat banao haste ke liye.
Police ghar pe damaged book nahi maangte hamesha, address proof maangte. Table pe Aadhaar original + 2 photocopy, rent original + 2 photocopy. Neighbour names. Damage story short.
RPO hold, extra affidavit, next date. Book phir leke jao. Photocopy phir 2 extra. Mat bhoolna book ghar. Second visit dry-ish plus 3 copies.
Visa blur, embassy later alag. Travel kal maybe nahi. Agent “chip transfer new book” jhoot. Laminate ghar pe mat. Geele book kachre me mat.
